Hello everyone :) 

Many of our discussions on Carenity concerning diabetes reveal that many people are very discreet abot their diabetes due to the discrimination that they can feel in the work place or just life in general. Read our article about this topic by clicking HERE.

Today I want us to talk about famous people who have diabetes. Did you know that Muhammed Ali (World famous boxer!) was once rejected for a boxing license because of his diabetes!

What famous people do you know with diabetes? Have you experienced work discrimination because of your diabetes?

I know Theresa May is a diabetic, but I think it might be type 1 in her case.
